Yannick Nézet-Séguin: Mozart reveals everything

In an intimate portrait, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera, shares how mentorship, Mozart, and a relentless commitment to authenticity shape his approach to conducting.

From early lessons with piano to formative moments with legendary maestro Carlo Maria Giulini, Nézet-Séguin reflects on how vulnerability, clarity, and truthfulness are the real tools of the podium.

'Mozart reveals everything,' he says, as he describes how music, at its most powerful, speaks to everyone and why classical music must evolve to reflect the world we live in today.
